@RaffaeleM28 @_JSAMS @sportaerztin Well deserved 👏👏👏

My article is an Editor’s Choice at @_JSAMS — so grateful for the recognition! Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. @PatrickRod_PhD @sportaerztin #EditorsChoice sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New Publication Alert 🚨🚨🚨 A 45-minute hot-water immersion at 40°C and 42°C increased countermovement jump performance and reactive strength index. However, only HWI at 42°C enhanced drop-jump height. Published at @IJSPPjournal 👉shorturl.at/LWjhW @waikato @LEEP_UIBK

@DrTomCullen @CSteward93 @campbellmenz @CJAPugh @drdoug_7 @SophieRussell99 You did an amazing work. Well done, Tom 👏

@PatrickRod_PhD @CSteward93 @campbellmenz @CJAPugh @drdoug_7 @SophieRussell99 Hi Patrick. Good question, it's possible. We certainly hoped to see additional improvements in fitness and we are aware of other studies that have seen improvements in aerobic fitness. For us, it was a deliberate choice go for slightly lower volume of heating vs other studies

Excited to share my final PhD paper in The Journal of Physiology. Great team effort! We found that exercise + hot water immersion significantly improved blood pressure and vascular function in physically inactive middle-aged adults.

@CSteward93 @DrTomCullen @campbellmenz @CJAPugh @drdoug_7 @SophieRussell99 Congratulations, Dr. Steward and team. Amazing work 👏. What about if you have done 60 min of HWI instead of 30 mim, or have used water at 42°C, or 5 sessions a week. Would you expect increases in cardiorespiratory fitness?

Finally, a big thank you to the team. @DrTomCullen @campbellmenz @CJAPugh @drdoug_7 @SophieRussell99 & Matt Hill

New in @EJAP_official from @PatrickRod_PhD and @GeoffMinett: Turning up the heat on skeletal muscle adaptations and neuromuscular function: key considerations for passive heating prescription and best practices link.springer.com/article/10.100…

This will help avoid oversimplifications such as the binary notion that "passive heat therapy does, or does not, work." 🧵9/end. Thanks for your comments 😃

Incorporating the FITT principle into PH research may enhance methodological consistency and interpretation. By adopting a more structured approach, the field can better realize the full potential of PH as a scientifically grounded intervention, for health and performance. 🧵8

Hot off the press 🔥 Our new publication on @EJAP_official 👉shorturl.at/WRKiQ Key considerations for passive heating prescription. If you work with passive heat therapy or heat stress/exposure, you may find this particularly relevant. @orssattolucas @GeoffMinett 🧵1

🚨Calling athletes and practitioners involved in high-performance sports🚨 We’re conducting a survey on passive heating during detraining and need your insights! 🔥 Take our short survey 👇 and share your experience 🔗 qsurvey.qut.edu.au/jfe/form/SV_eR…

🚨 Hot off the press! 🔥Heat to hypoxia cross-adaptation ⛰️ Our new study shows that 6 weeks of post-exercise hot water immersion (HWI) can boost exercise performance in acute hypoxia. 🚴‍♂️🛀🔥 @sportaerztin @Justin_lawley @LydSimpson @ExpPhysiol shorturl.at/YimFN @waikato

Even with matched prescriptions, the intensity reference method (speed vs. HR) matters — due to dynamic shifts between intensity dimensions. @PatrickRod_PhD @sportaerztin 📰 Editorial (@EJAP_official ): doi.org/10.1007/s00421… 📄 New study (@_JSAMS ): doi.org/10.1016/j.jsam…

While passive increases in muscle temp via HWI can enhance rapid muscle contraction, it may impair motor control tasks. This was evidenced in our later study, showing decreased force steadiness and increased MUDR variability after a single session of HWI. shorturl.at/3FP5B
